Radio 5 Live had reports from farmers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland earlier.
The Welsh hill-farmer damn near broke my heart, talking of digging out dead lambs, and sheep aborting in the snow and having no electricity to help them. I knew the farmers would be hard hit, but it really brought it home. He has a (nearish) neighbour whose son is a soldier home on leave, and he had come to help and lend his muscle, but there wasn't much he could do except pray for a thaw.

Almost makes me feel guilty to be almost-veggie these days.
These people need our support.
I'm just glad Arran's supermarkets/ shops are the Co-op. I trust them and their Red Tractors (assured food standards branding.)

I was SO cold earlier I had to go back to bed.
Then the 'rents came back from shopping and switched the heating on.
I wasn't even wearing a hat. Damn I'm lucky in where I live, even if the rest of my life is falling apart.

Glad you're okay babski.
Sent them cats out for some red hot meat.
